Roy Keane disagrees with Mikel Arteta while targeting Arsenal “soft”

Roy Keane revealed that he disagreed with Mikel Arteta’s post-match interview following Arsenal’s 2-1 loss to Wolves on Sunday.

The Gunners coach said he believed his players showed “the desire and the will,” despite suffering another disappointing loss at home.

However, Sky Sports expert Keane thought that the Arsenal team looked too “soft” at this point.

“I think a lot of the players are not good enough,” Keane said. “I think there is a softness there.

“I think obviously a few years ago all the cheerleaders were out when they had a decent performance at United.

“I’ve only got one point since then, obviously I lost the other two games. I think they look soft.

“They probably lack a bit of confidence, I didn’t see that fight the manager was talking about.

“I know it was a difficult interview, you have been defeated in the game, it is difficult, but I did not see that desire, that determination to obtain a result.

“You can have a bad night, of course, but you still find a way to get a result and right now I don’t see it with this group of players. They look a little soft. “

Arsenal have lost three games in a row in the Premier League and Arteta admits he is concerned about his current form.

“A really bad result,” said the Spaniard after the defeat. “The performance, in the first half we had our moments, they made two shots on goal and scored twice.

“We had a great reaction in the second half, we did everything we could. I think the team showed how much they wanted to win the game.

“We created opportunities, we created chances and the goal did not come. Obviously disappointed because I think we deserved more from the game.

“It’s (a concern) when you lose three games in a row for different reasons at home.

“Obviously I’m very worried, I’m responsible for that, but I owe the reaction the team had, the way we played the second half.

“I expect more quality and more skill from them, but in the end, the desire and the will to go and get a result were there.”
